Pre-Charge Tank Connection (Figure 6)
If your system uses a pre-charged tank, it should be connected to the pump as shown in Figure 6. The relief valve must be capable of passing the entire pump capacity at 100 PSI pressure.
Check the pre-charge of air in the tank with an ordinary tire gauge. the precharge is measured when there is no water pressure in the tank. Disconnect power to the pump and drain the tank before checking the pre-charge.
Your pump has a 30/50 PSI switch, so the tank pre-charge pressure should be 28 PSI (that is, it should be 2 PSI lower than the cut-in pressure of the pressure switch.
No AVC is required for a pre-charged tank; the 1/8” NPT AVC port on the pump body should be plugged.
Standard Tank Connection (Figure 7)
If your system uses a standard tank, connect it to the pump as shown in Figure 7. The relief valve used with a standard tank must be capable of passing the entire pump capacity at 75 PSI pressure.
Connect the Air Volume Control (AVC) tube to the 1/8” NPT AVC port on the pump body. Run the tubing from the pump’s AVC port to the AVC mounted on the tank. See the instructions provided with tank and AVC for details.
Sealing Pipe Joints
Use only PTFE pipe thread sealant tape or PTFE-based joint compounds for making all threaded connections to the pump itself. Do not use pipe joint compounds on plastic pumps: they can react with the plastic in pump components. Make sure that all pipe joints in the suction pipe are air tight as well as water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to pull water from the well.

Hazardous voltage.. Can shock, burn, or kill. Connect ground wire before connecting power supply wires. Use the wire size (including the ground wire) specified in the wiring chart. If possible, connect the pump to a separate branch circuit with no other appliances on it.
Explosion hazard.. Do not ground to a gas supply line.
Wiring Connections
Fire hazard.. Incorrect voltage can cause a fire or seriously damage the motor and voids the
warranty. The supply voltage must be within ±10% of the motor nameplate voltage.
NOTICE: Dual-voltage motors may be set for 115 V or 230 V. If necessary, reset the motor to the desired voltage, as shown. Do not alter the wiring in single voltage motors.
Install, ground, wire, and maintain your pump in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), as applicable, and with all local codes and ordinances that apply. Consult your local building inspector for code information.
Connection Procedure:
1.Connect the ground wire first as shown in Figure 8. The ground wire must be a solid copper wire at least as large as the power supply wires.
2.There must be a solid metal connection between the pressure switch and the motor for motor grounding protection. If the pressure switch is not connected to the motor, connect the green ground screw in the switch to the green ground screw under the motor end cover. Use a solid copper wire at least as large as the power supply wires.
3.Connect the ground wire to a grounded lead in a service panel, to a metal underground water pipe, to a metal well casing at least ten feet (3 m) long, or to a ground electrode provided by the power company or the hydro authority.
4.Connect the power supply wires to the pressure switch as shown in Figure 8.

Open control valve as far as possible and fill pump and piping through priming port
or priming tee.

Priming
Explosion hazard.. Never run pump against closed discharge. To do so can boil water inside pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit, risk of explosion and possibly scalding persons handling pump.
Risk of burns.. Never run pump dry. Running pump without water may cause pump to overheat, damaging seal and possibly causing burns to persons handling pump. Fill pump with water before starting.
1.Open the control valve as far as possible (see Figure 12). Then remove the priming plug from the pump and fill the pump, fill all piping between the pump and the well, and make sure that all piping in
the well is full. If you have also installed a priming tee in the suction piping, remove the plug from the tee and fill the suction piping.
2.Replace all fill plugs and close the control valve completely (Figure 13).
3.Power on! Start the pump and watch the pressure gauge. The pressure should build rapidly to 50 PSI as the pump primes.
4.After 2 or 3 minutes, the gauge should show pressure. If not, stop the pump, remove the fill plugs, reopen the control valve, and refill the pump and piping. You may have to repeat this two or three times in order to get all the trapped air out of the piping. Don’t forget to close the control valve each time before you start the pump.
5.When pressure has built up and stabilized at about 50 PSI, slowly open the control valve (see Figure 14) and let the pressure drop until the pressure gauge needle starts to flutter. When the needle flutters, close the valve just enough to stop the flutter (see Figure 14). Your pump is now operating at its most efficient point.
6.After the pump has built up pressure in the system and shut off, check the pressure switch operation by opening a faucet or two and running enough water out to bleed off pressure until the pump starts. The pump should start when pressure drops to 30 PSI and stop when pressure reaches 50 PSI. Run the pump through one or two complete cycles to verify correct operation. This will also help clean the system of dirt and scale dislodged during installation.
7.(PL Series pumps only). Check for leaks around band clamp. If pump is leaking, tighten clamp nut 1-2 turns. Do not overtighten.
NOTICE: Due to normal irregularities in the cup seal leather and the inner walls of the casing, packer jets do not form a perfect seal. In a dormant system, pressure will leak off over time, causing pump to cycle periodically to maintain system pressure level.

Explosion hazard.. Never run pump against closed discharge. To do so can boil water inside pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit, risk of explosion and possibly scalding persons handling pump.
Risk of burns.. Never run pump dry. Running pump without water may cause pump to overheat, damaging seal and possibly causing burns to persons handling pump. Fill pump with water before starting.
1.Open the control valve as far as possible (see Figure 15). Then remove the priming plug from the pump and fill the pump, fill all piping between the pump and the well, and make sure that all piping in
the well is full. If you have also installed a priming tee in the suction piping, remove the plug from the tee and fill the suction piping.
2.Replace all fill plugs. Leave the control valve open (in a shallow well installation, the control valve always stays open).
3.Power on! Start the pump. The pump should pump water in two or three minutes.
4.If you don’t have water after 2 or 3 minutes, stop the pump and remove the fill plugs. Refill the pump and piping. You may have to repeat this two or three times in order to get all the trapped air out of the piping. The control valve remains open throughout this procedure.
5.After the pump has built up pressure in the system and shut off, check the pressure switch operation by opening a faucet or two and running enough water out to bleed off pressure until the pump starts. The pump should start when pressure drops to 30 PSI and stop when pressure reaches 50 PSI. Run the pump through one or two complete cycles to verify correct operation. This will also help clean the system of dirt and scale dislodged during installation.
6.(PL Series pumps only). Check for leaks around band clamp. If pump is leaking, tighten clamp nut 1-2 turns. Do not overtighten.
Winterizing the Pump
To prepare the pump for freezing temperatures:
1.Shut off power to the pump.
2.Relieve system pressure. Open a faucet and let it drain until water stops flowing.
3.Drain the pump. Your pump may have a separate drain plug. Remove this plug and let it drain.
Your pump may only have a plug or connection on the side of the pump. Remove this and let the pump drain. Some water will remain in the pump. A small amount of water left in the pump will not harm it if it freezes.
